    Default So about this ar adaigh

    What instruments are being used?

    If I hear so correctly, I'd think

    -Horns
    -Bodhrán
    -Didgeridoo
    -Some kind of trumpet, not sure.

    Can anyone help me with this, I'm plain interested, (especially about the didgeridoo, did they historically have such a kind of instrument in the La Tène period?

    I don't think any didgeridoo is used, it's just the same breathing/playing method, using the horns they have reconstructed from archaeological finds.

    Ah, yes. I thought I heard something that I thought was a didgeridoo, but seeing that it was developed in Australia, I don't think it would be very historically accurate.

    Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure they admit to be in concert with a didgeridoo, no offense intended. I mean, the song description says that... I'm not trying to be contradictory, sorry, I just remember wondering the same thing and looking into it.

    Now I can easily be completely wrong about which songs included in EB (which I love- GREAT JOB TK!) are associated with this song they have written this description for- so TK might be right, I just know at some point they DO include a didgeridoo:

    Reconciliation, Live 1

    Track 7, Live 1 album, 'Interaction', live tune featuring prehistoric instruments and the Australian didgeridoo.
